Here’s a quick little video of one of my cockatiels, Pepper, singing. He starts to do a little dance that is unique to him. If you listen closely, you can hear him say “nastybird”, which is his nickname.

This is the Halloween episode! I don’t think I’ve ever done one of those before on Inside My Head. Halloween is just a few days away, so, I am getting this podcast in just under the wire. Better late than never, I suppose.

Today’s Haiku of Frustration is called: “Anytime Now”. Seemed appropriate, as I was recording this episode of Inside My Head moments before the US Government was supposed to call me in regards to Unemployment Insurance.

Music on today’s show by:
* Shawn from Hyper Nonsense, with a song called “Halloween is Awesome”. If you click on that link, it takes you directly to the final episode of Hyper Nonsense.
Here is the video for that song:

* Troy Sinister and the Cemetery Men, with a song called “The Living Dead”.

* Johnny O and the Jerks, with a song called “Zombie Love Affair”.
Want to watch somebody draw a zombie girl while listening to that song? Here ya go! (Pretty sure this isn’t officially from the band):

* The Supersuckers, with a song called “Sleepy Vampire”.
Here is a video of The Supersuckers at The House Of Blues:

Have a happy Halloween, everyone!

I am unemployed, but you knew that. I’m in my second week of unemployment, and so far it is strange. Listen to this episode to find out why I feel like losing this job is similar to breaking up with someone.

Need more haiku? You can still get my book :Haiku of Frustration: Wage Slave, the first book I ever published. It’s got 98 little haiku about the frustrations of working in retail hell, and it’s pocket sized! Think of it as the Wage Slave’s Book of Psalms!

Inside My Head Podcast show number 92.
Yeah, I know I said it was show number 91 on the show. It’s not. This is not the first time I have screwed up the show number.

I’ve not done an IMH podcast at all since school started. This episode will tell you what has been keeping me away from recording, as well as some interesting things that have happened at my (former) job.

Yes, you read that right, I am now unemployed!
For play by play details about just how and when that happened, listen to Hyper Nonsense.

Music on this show by:
* Black Sabbath, with a song called “Ironman”
I didn’t play the whole song, but you can here it in this video:

* Cruisebox, with a song called “On a Podcast”. Anyone know what the link is to this band’s page? Let me know, and I will add it here.

* Kyle Dine, with a song called “Epi Man”.
This video shows an interview with Kyle Dine, telling about what he does, why he made songs for kids about allergies, and what inspired the song “Epi Man”. He sings “Epi Man”, live, on this video.

* Underwhelmed, with a song called “Freak Like Me”.

* The Priddle Concern, with a song called “I Had A Job”.

* Deathboy, with a song called “Smile, You Fuckers”.

No haiku of frustration on this show, because, honestly… where to begin?

Enjoy the show! I should be able to create new episodes more often now that I’m unemployed. I got tons of time!

Better late than never!
I’ve had some major allergy problems in the past few weeks, and also had one of my little birdies pass away. This has kept me from podcasting, until today. You can hear in my voice that I am having problems breathing. Don’t worry… it’s only temporary.

There is no haiku of frustration in this episode. I simply didn’t write one.

Summer school is over, and I have a story about it you won’t believe!

I am now, officially on vacation! Somewhere in this podcast, I share some good news about that. Listen for “The Horns of Importance”!

Mostly, I have been spending my time off work relaxing, and doing many of the things I have been meaning to take time to do, or to go, or to see, or to finally eat at. It’s been nice.

Inside My Head Podcast number Eighty Seven

I did nearly nothing on the rest of my “stay-cation”, and therefore, have little to talk about for this show. I had lots and lots of time to relax, which is what I really wanted, so, it’s all good.

So, instead of a rant, you get extra music to enjoy in this episode.

Today’s haiku of frustration is called : “Not Cool”.

Are you working this summer at a dreary, tiresome, frustrating wage slave type of job? Are you stuck in retail hell? Do you need more haiku in your life? I got what you need!
Haiku of Frustration: Wage Slave is available as a download, or a cute little pocket sized book. Now with new and improved paper!

Music in today’s show by:

* Planetary Nights, with a song called “Road Trip”.

* Jennings, with a song called “Doorway”.
Want to know more about this song? Jennings has a video that explains how she wrote the song, and what it is about:

Unfortunately, the offer of free music mentioned in this video has expired.

* Pistolita, with a song called “Oliver, Under the Moon”.
Check out this very energetic video for that song:

* The A-B Theory, with a song called “Tell Me How Colorado Is”, and another song called “Ataraxia”.
Now, for a limited time, you can get free music from the A-B Theory right here. Don’t miss out on this beautiful music! Thank you to Jesse Smith, of The A-B Theory, for being so kind, and offering free music to listeners of my show.

Here’s a live version of “Tell Me How Colorado Is”. It’s followed by a song called “A City Scene”, that I did not play on this episode of Inside My Head, but, is still a amazing song. I am impressed with how great The A-B Theory sounds live.

And while I’m at it:
Here is the video of the song “Comin’ Days” by the band Heath Street that I played in the previous episode of the Inside My Head Podcast:

This is the episode that almost wasn’t. First, I got sick. (No, it wasn’t the Swine Flu). Then I recorded an entire show, but garageband ate parts of it, (and spit out the rest). Finally, today, I tried to podcast, but the neighbors wouldn’t stop making all kinds of noise. /sigh

I managed to power through all that to get this episode out for y’all to enjoy.

There are several Haiku of Frustration in today’s show, for you to be amused by. Add your own, at Haiku of Frustration dot com.

Time to watch some videos!
In the previous episode of Inside My Head, I played a song by Puppetbox. Here is their awesome music video for that song: Kill You Dead.

My video Why I’m Sick, which is no longer available on YouTube can still be viewed here. Why is it no longer on YouTube? Listen to find out!

My video, “Ants Go Marching”, got a nice comment on YouTube! Here is that video:

Music on today’s show is by Shill. There is an interesting story about how I got their music. I played their songs “Pick A Fight”, and “Play”.

I started off this show with The Sidebars, with our song called “Bubble”.
